Refrigerator would not freeze or cool

correct for my fridge. These parts came to $75.00 delivered. I thought that this is cheaper than a new compressor of $600.00 plus installation or a new fridge. So I ordered the kit and installed it in under 30 minutes. My fridge is up and running saving me a lot of money for costly repairs or a new fridge. Worked out fantastic allowing me to used the saved money elsewhere . Great site will continue to use this site in future repairs. Thanks

Refrig quit cooling entirely
Opened up the rear and removed start kit. It had smoked. Ohmed out the compressor and it was ok. Bought kit from partselect. Warned me it wasn't identical and would need additional work but the part fit fine and refrigerator works well again.
